SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,301, dated November9,1886.

Application filed June :21, 1886. Serial No. 205,750. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN B. CORNISH, of

Barnstable, in the county of Barnstable and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented a new and Improved Combined Collar-Button and Necktie-Fastener,of which the following is a specification. In the accompanying drawings,in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure l is aview of my'improved device in position for use. Fig. 2 is an enlargedview of the same removed. Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section of thesame in position foruse. Figs. 4 and 5 represent modifications.

A represents an ordinary shirtcollar; a, the rear button-hole in thesame; B, the band of a necktie or scarf, and G 0, Fig. 3, the two endsof the neckband of the shirt. D is the rear collar-button.

It is quite common for gentlemen to tuck the band of the necktie orscarf under the rear collar-button, in order to prevent it from workingup at that point. The'objects of my device are to prevent the band thustucked under, first, from riding up over the collar-but ton, and,second, from slipping horizontally around, so as to move the scarf ortie in front away from a central position. To accomplish this object Iattach an arm, D, rigidly to the head of the button D in such a mannerthat it will extend down against the band, as shown. Then, by roughlypunching one or more holes therein from the outer side, I produceroughnesses or projections D on the side next the necktie-band, whichslightly stick into said band and hold it so that it will not move. Thisarm D may extend down directlyfrom the head of the button D, as shown inFigs. 1, 2, and 3; or it may extend from the post of the button, asshown in Fig. 4, or from the upper side of the button, bending downaround the head thereof, as represented in Fig. 5. It may be soldered orotherwise secured to the button,and the projections D may be produced inany desired manner, the method above described being recommended onaccount of its cheapness. The arm is placed and shaped so as to pressfirmly against the band B, in order that ample friction may be produced.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

. A combined collar-button and necktie-holder,

JOHN .B.- connisn.
